Chapter 1596:
With a light smile, Corrine replied with playful sarcasm, “And what's the reason for my delay today?”
A sheepish cough escaped him. “I'll take the blfor that.”
Corrine snorted softly, shrugged off his hand, and walked over to the sofa.
Nate followed, his voice softening with concern. “Are you upset?”
She looked up at him, her face somber. “I'm contemplating whether it’s wise for us to take stapart.”
Because if this kept up, something was going to give—and it'd likely be her.
“I can try to hold back next time,” Nate offered, almost apologetically. Corrine had grown weary of such
assurances; they had lost their weight over time.
Silently, she moved to the dining table and began her breakfast in quiet contemplation.
After finishing, Corrine drove herself to the office.
As Corrine reached the office, a sharp voice pierced the morning calm. “Corrine!” She paused and turned to see
Tracy striding toward her with a distinctly confrontational air.
It was clear Tracy had been waiting. Her gaze swept over Corrine from head to toe, masking bitterness behind a

Since discovering that Corrine was a member of the Ford family, the most affluent in Lyhaton, Tracy's regret had
been palpable.
Despite her regrets, Tracy knew Corrine was beyond her grasp and would never consider looking back.
Determined not to let Corrine savor any perceived victory, Tracy inhaled deeply, her stance becoming imposing.
“You're a Ford, heiress to the greatest fortune in Lyhaton. We've turned a blind eye to years of you masquerading
and leeching off the Ashton family. But plotting to take our assets? That's audacious, even for you. The Fords
have more wealth than they could ever use. What's the point in eyeing the Ashton assets? Or perhaps, do you
find others’ possessions more appealing?”

Corrine’s response was cool, her eyes sharpening. “It seems you've forgotten who kept the Ashton assets intact
when they were nearly lost.” Her dismissive tone felt like a physical blow to Tracy.
Tracy's face flushed with anger. “You were merely there when we were down. What gives you the right to lord it
over me?”
Corrine had only assisted during the Ashton family’s crisis. Was it really necessary to keep mentioning it? Tracy
couldn't help but think to herself that it was as if Corrine feared others wouldn't recognize her as the savior of
the Ashton family.
Corrine held her silence, her eyes flickering with a hint of disdain as she reflected on her initial encounters with
the Ashton family.
It was during a family dinner, where
Tracy had treated her almost like a
